OMG!! ! This girl is so nice, she texts back before I even press send. It feels weird though because I'm so used to waiting around my phone or email for 5 hours waiting for the person to write back, but she texts back within 45 seconds. and she's pretty too. she's going to tutor me tomorrow. she is a freshman as well in my class. It feels weird to finally have someone who is interested in talking to me, after constant rejection from people. I didn't come to her, she came to me. I guess maybe the good friends always come to you.

Has anyone else experienced this before?

Now that I think back, the people who took 6 days to text me back or write me back werent even worth the struggle anyways because they didnt wanna be my friend. someone once told me that the real friends will text back right away and if they are busy they'll tell me.

This is so new to me, I have to get used to it.

A lot of the time yes, they do find you first.

All true.

And yes, get used to "feeling weird" (in a good way :) )

One of the things that attracted me to my bf was his lack of flakiness. It's such a breath of fresh air when you meet people that don't play games.

We are going to be studying together in about an hour. I'm a bit nervous, but she's the one who's tutoring me, so I don't have to talk much. I'm hungry too. I hope we can get a bite to eat afterward lol.

Yea I hope she stays my friend. I told her she had pretty feet and she smiled and said "I guess I can take that as a complement" and laughed. I told her it in French. and she gave me all her work so I can look at it to help me do my math. she had to leave because she has an appointment. before she left she said "You can give me a hug" and she hugged me. I like her, she's nice and she always texts back
